An open online community for actors in the field of digital education in Europe and beyond.
There is a great need for dialogue and collaboration between actors in the field of digital education. For this reason, a new European network was launched in 2022 to facilitate the exchange of experiences and solutions between all areas of education: the European Digital Education Hub.
Since 2022
European Commission, Erasmus+ program (2021-2027)
The HPI D-School is part of a "community of practice" for the European Digital Education Hub of the European Commission, which the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has launched together with ten partner organizations.
The hub's community offers a range of services, from mentoring programs for teachers and heads of educational institutions to digital consultations as quick "first aid" for digitalization issues, to Design Thinking workshops and a joint accelerator program that can be used to develop an idea into an applicable educational solution.
As part of the practice-oriented network, the HPI d-school supports cross-industry networking and calls for ideas for digital education. In the hub's Design Thinking channel, community members can participate in monthly meetups hosted by the HPI d-school to discuss the application of Design Thinking mindset and methods in education.
Once a year, the HPI D-School team selects a challenge from the community for which students develop new solutions as part of their training in a Design Thinking project.
We also conduct Design Thinking workshops for and with representatives from all areas of the education system. The first workshop occurred in November 2022 at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam.
In the first Design Thinking workshop for the members of the European Digital Education Hub Community, we worked on a design challenge on the topic of "resilience through digital education". Several coaches and experts discussed Design Thinking with the participants to tackle the challenge of creating a platform for learning and innovation and designing tangible solutions.
The workshop activities provided space for brainstorming among participants and an immersion in the Design Thinking process. 40 participants from 18 countries presented solutions and were encouraged to develop them further for possible implementation.
The European Digital Education Hub is an initiative of the European Commission funded through the Erasmus+ program (2021-2027) and implemented by a consortium of organizations led by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) under a service contract with the European Education and Culture Agency (EACEA).
